Agreed. I'd at least like to have the bug referenced have at least more context.

The commit message links to the bug, so that’s a plus (but not ideal).

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] Oslo.exception being dropped??

This touches on one of my big pet peeves, in the commit message one should:

"Describe why a change is being made.

A common mistake is to just document how the code has been written, without describing /why/ the developer chose to do it that way. By all means describe the overall code structure, particularly for large changes, but more importantly describe the intent/motivation behind the changes."

Actually,  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GitCommitMessages#Information_in_commit_messages has a really great description of what a commit message should include and why, but rarely due.

Taking a total guess here... But, I reckon that it's usefulness now that
oslo.* are being spun off into "real projects" means that the shared
dependency is becoming a problem.

e.g. oslo.config and oslo.messaging shouldn't both include it, so should
a whole oslo.exception library be created for what is essentially 1
shared base exception class? I personally don't think so.

Thanks,
